The senatorial contests for seats In the
United States Senate have all been made,
with this result: Republicans IS Democrats
81, and Riddleberger, OF Virginia This o..
sumes on the Democratic side that there will
be no contest over Turpies seat from In.
diana, and that Faulkner will be allowed to
sit instead OF Lucas from West Virginia.
Governor Wilson, OF the latter state, named
Lucas after the legislature failed to elect; but
the legislature, convened in spscial session
BY the governor for other purposes, elected
Faulkner to hll the senatorial vacancy.
Wilson claims that the legislature had no
right to consider other business than that for
which it was specially convened. Wilson
should not forget that when Senator Miller,
Of California, died, the legislature WAS Dot in
session, and Governor Stoneman appointed
Senator Hearst to I'LL the vacancy. Hs sub.
sequently called the legislature in extra N g.
sion for certain specific purposes, the sen ator-
ship not included, and In this spscal session
the Republican majority elected A r. vii.
lisms for Senator Miller's uuex plred term.
Hearst stepped out, and Williams was sd.
mitted without question, although the Call.
fornis constitution expressly limits an extra
session to the objects specified expressly in
the governors proclamation.

 gun.
 Business is driving a5 the West Haven Cartridge and Buckle Co.'s factory on Rail- road avenue, West Haven. A part if not all of the force of hands are working evenings in order to keep pace with the orders in the cartridge department.
 Business st the Mathushek Piano company $ large manufactory, West Haven, is brisk and has been so for many months past. A force of two hundred hands, nearly all men, is employed. About one-quarter of the force live in this city and nearly all the re- mainder in Vest Haven.
 Tyler City rejoices over the new manufac- tory just completed there for the making of buttonhole attachments for sewing machines. The factory is one hundred and twenty-five feet long by thirty-eight in width and two stories high and is built in an attractive style. A fifty horse power engine and boiler have been put in and much new machinery. The companys name is the Peerless Button hole Attachment Co.,, and it is largely New Haven enterprise, the officers being: Presi- dent, P. Ferry of New Haven; vice president, Charles w. Handrell of New York; secretary, Samuel Halliwell of New Haven; treasurer, J. Willis Downes of New Haven. Business starts at the shop under very favorable auspices, with large orders from leading sewing machine manufactories. The attach ment it is claimed does exquisitely perfect work and can be attached to any machine and is great labor saver also, and a long step ahead in the matter of making buttons holes from the smallest to the largest sizes. The factory is near the Tyler City depot, same side of the track The new factory promises to be of much benefit to the Derby railroad and to this city, Tyler City being only suburb of New Haven. The mason builder of the new shop was Griswold of New Haven, and Little of Meriden was the carpen- ter builder.

Foster is a veteran of the war and speaks from experience, having endured the horrors of Andersonville for the space of ten months. This lecture was first announced for Thurs- day evening, but has been changed to Wed- nesday evening in order not to conflict with the organ concert which takes place at the First Baptist church on that evening. The committee of the two churches having con- suited it has been decided to make this change in order to accommodate many who may desire to attend both enter tainments.

Four bluefsh were caught at the Rock Saturday, but what there were were of large size.

Near shore below the Rock last week parties caught bushels of flat fish and black6sh which had been left in shadows and pools by the receding tide. Down on the bench last week parties had similar good luck, hundreds of fish being taken in the same way.

An excursion which was extensively adver- tised in the New York papers to run from Yew York to this city yesterday failed to put in an appearance. A number of people who expected friends on the steamer went down disappointed after waiting a number of hours. It is supposed that owing to the limited patronage, no doubt caused by the chilly, indictment weather, that it was aban- doned.

DIED AT THE HOSPITAL.

Henry McCIinchy, Who Was Crushed
 by the Cars, Dies at the Hospital.
 Henry McClinchy, the Branford man who had his right leg crushed by the cars last Thursday night, died at the hospital early Sunday morning. The shock of the occurrence and the subsequent loss of blood greatly en- feebled him, preventing resort to amputation, and there was but little hope of his recovery from the first.
